I go back to work this week. I am not doing a full-time schedule for now, and maybe not again for this job. I”m OK with it. I am needed part of the week here at home to help take care of my daughter with though my wife working from home. My wife needs a few days to get her meetings and work done with little to no distractions. That’s what we have been doing here since she started working again. It’s not too bad, since she’s done by 3-4. I’ve enjoyed the time I have had to bond with my daughter. I look forward to be around here to help her grow and be the best baby she can be. My mother in law is supposed to move in soon, but with the pandemic and chaos, she’s been stuck in Florida a lot longer than expected. When she moves in, maybe I will go back to full-time, maybe not. I am regardless been trying to better myself and get in a position to get a new job. One where I don’t feel like I’m being looked down on and shown no respect.
Which comes to my resume. Please take a look at the Resume page and critique it and give me some feedback. I”m going with a more functional resume to show off my skills rather than my history, and I’ve minimized the amount of security related info on it, which I feel pigeonholes me when I speak with people about possible job opportunities. I have been in numerous interviews and meetings (some with family who have offered to help me passing my resume around) and despite how adamant I am saying I don’t want anything related to security, they all say “Well, I know someone who has a security guard job.” It’s frustrating and a lesson to never settle for a job beneath your value and skill, because that’s where everyone will treat you as.
Before tha pandemic, I decided to take a break from BJJ. I had to because of the child care situation with my daughter. I didn’t know how long the break would be, or if I would ever go back. Since the pandemic, I still want to go, even if it’s 1-2 times a week, just because I love the action and it’s a form of therapy for me. It helps my mind and makes me feel better despite how many times I tap out. I need to see with the scenario I”ll have if and when I can. Also the small issue of the school reopening has to be sorted out. To pass the time I have taken up yoga again. I’ve been doing the DDP Yoga program, which is a program designed by a former pro wrestler. I don’t know what the base of it is, but adds some fitness related moves and modifies some of the moves. I have been enjoying it, but I’m not ready to video myself in stop motion like a lot of the guys i know on Instagram have been doing with their “Breakfast Yoga Club”. I am going to continue it with my wife, since it’s time together and it’s going to at least help up feel a little better.
